EXPORTS(5)          UNIX Programmer's Manual           EXPORTS(5)



NAME
     exports - NFS file systems being exported

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/exports

DESCRIPTION
     The file /_e_t_c/_e_x_p_o_r_t_s describes the file systems which are
     being exported to _n_f_s(4) clients.  It is created by the sys-
     tem administrator using a text editor and processed by the
     _m_o_u_n_t request daemon _m_o_u_n_t_d(8c) each time a mount request is
     received.

     The file consists of a list of file systems and the _n_e_t_-
     _g_r_o_u_p_s(5) or machine names allowed to remote mount each file
     system.  The file system names are left justified and fol-
     lowed by a list of names separated by white space.  The
     names will be looked up in /_e_t_c/_n_e_t_g_r_o_u_p_s and then in
     /_e_t_c/_h_o_s_t_s.  A file system name with no name list following
     means export to everyone.  A ``#'' anywhere in the file
     indicates a comment extending to the end of the line it
     appears on.  Lines beginning with white space are continua-
     tion lines.

EXAMPLE
     /usr       clients               # export to my clients
     /usr/local                       # export to the world
     /usr2      phoenix sun sundae    # export to only these machines
